Mini Series Sol

Jedi Master Sol,former master to Mae and current Master to Jeckie. He will momments of conflicts in the show. He is the leading Jedi we see most of the trailer. Also few shoots make seem like we see him in flashback as younger jedi. Synopsis have him work with his former apprentice to find the darkness.

 

This actor was great in Squid Games. I'm looking forward to seeing what he brings to this series.

 

Very excited about this character. He’s like George’s original Obi-wan.

 

Praise Sol.

 

I don't know anything about the actor, other than he was in Squid Games, which I have not seen. I don't know how fluent he is in English. He's speaking English in the trailer, but in an interview with EW he does with Leslye and Amanda, he gives his responses in Korean. I know Leslye has said how great it was to work with him and how cool it was to hear him deliver his English lines, but IMO Star Wars is one franchise where that is completely unnecessary.

It's a Galaxy full of who knows how many planets, trillions of people, many different cultures. You have Han Solo speaking to Jabba in English/"Basic" and Jabba understanding and replying in Huttese which Han also understands, but neither adopt the others language in their conversation, and in Star Wars this is totally fine.

Especially as Disney has been branching out with more and more international talent, I would be perfectly OK with just letting them speak their native language. Let him speak Korean and call it Corellian for instance.

 

I like that. Always thought they could’ve let Donnie Yen and Jiang Wen speak Mandarin for Rogue One, and just subtitle it. I mean, why not? English stands in for Basic, so other real world languages could stand in for other GFFA languages.

 

Really enjoying this character and the nuanced performance by Lee. Warm, determined, but with a clear undercurrent of regret (sensing that much of the show's mystery will revolve around the source of that regret). He would have gotten on well with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, I think.

 

So far Lee has given a strong performance as Master Sol, making him instantly likeable.

He seems to have come to terms with his regret over what happened to Osha though I'm curious to learn why his regret didn't grow into some form of guilt as it seems to have done with Master Torbin. Based on the other three Jedi's later actions (and reactions supposedly) to events 16 years ago, I have to wonder if Sol was fully aware of what truly happened.

Maybe we'll learn as he will learn along the way perhaps?

 

I sense . . . Master Sol will not survive this first season of The Acolyte

 

He’s the best character on the show by far so that would be a disaster.

 

I like Sol too but it feels like a cloud is following him and he’s definitely on “the list”

 

I think he will survive And maybe one of students gets killed.

 

If Sol faces a Sith and survives, perhaps he goes down a road that makes him unreliable as a source of information. Maybe even enough to be sent to the Citadel on Lola Sayu

 

Well yeah. Osha listed off the four Jedi on the list, so there’s no question there. Though I hope Sol avoids the fate of Indara and Torbin. And I hope Kelnacca doesn’t bite the dust too! We need moar wookiee Jedi in our lives.

 

About that list. Correct me if I am wrong but at the end of episode 2 there are only 2 jedi left on that list, sol and Kelnacca

 

Yes.

 

Maybe there was no opportunity for this, but Mae never challenged Sol with "Come at me with all your strength." However, he is included in the Four. I'm going with Sol is merely "bad thing" adjacent. So far, he has been everything I hope for in a Jedi Master, of course it's only episode two.

 

I think Mae was just caught by surprise when Sol confronted her. She was up against multiple Jedi too so she didn't have a chance to engage in the way she wants to.

 

100%

By the way, this is one of the few SW shows whose episodes have been interesting enough for me to watch multiple times. And one of the reasons is to discern many of its subtle moments, like this, or just to enjoy the characters.

 

This. I think Sol witnessed, but did not participate in, the bad thing. And then essentially covered it up. And so Mae finds him guilty in that respect.

 

I don't think the "bad" will be something as understandable as an act of omission. Nothing like the sisters from TCW who blamed the Jedi for their parents' death. I think it will be a conscious decision made to benefit a supposed greater good, while the harm from this act eventual outweighs the good. Mae/Osha are smart, but they've been lied to. How badly did this lie effect this course of their life? Did they blame the fire of Mae when it's cause was something else, best not known.
